Primary testicular lymphoma with extranodal involvement.

Unlabelled: We report the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with a right testicular mass and synchronous involvement of skin and Waldeyer's ring. These facts led us to the working diagnosis of malignant primary testicular lymphoma.

Material/results: We present the case with comments and make a bibliographic review of the disease.

Acute bacterial prostatitis: two different sub-categories according to a previous manipulation of the lower urinary tract.

Acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) (NIH Category I), has not undergone any modification in the update of prostatitis classification. ABP was diagnosed in 614 patients in our centre over 9 years (1993-2001). We analyse the clinical pattern of ABP and the role of bladder outlet obstruction in its etiology, as well as whether two different ABP sub-categories could be defined as a function of a history of previous manipulation of the lower urinary tract.

Quality of life in prostate cancer patients and controls: psychometric validation of the FACTP-4 in Spanish, and relation to urinary symptoms.
